Mitt Romney: Statesman in Training
Posted by: Media Lizzy | 02/07/2008 3:24 PM
In a great speech, full of red meat - Mitt Romney left the
presidential race, with class. His speech was excellent - he was
visibly choked up at the end. Romney challenged everyone to unite and
battle the eventual Democrat nominee. He paved the way for unity- and
his exit effectively places serious pressure on Mike Huckabee to get
out of the race.Later today, John McCain will address CPAC - the response from the crowd will be very important. With voices like US House Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia leading conservatives to rally around McCain - times are interesting indeed. More analysis later...
Interesting note: Jim Angle of Fox News reporting that when Mitt
Romney was going over his speech for today, late last night, that he
realized the best chance for Republicans to win this fall - is to be
united and unite on the issue of national security / winning the war on
terror. This is the sign of a statesman in training.

If he gave that speech a week ago he might have had a chance on Tuesday. Give him the too little too late award. I still think he is a big phony and the Republican party can come up someone better.
In front of that crowd that was a great, not good speech. My hat's off to him and his writer.
He is his own writer.
I also heard he wrote that speech himself. He locked himself in a room alone and wrote it, without any outside influence. I think it was the best speech he has ever given.
McCain's speech was very good, too. In fact, it was so good that it depressed me, because now others will actually think he has some credibility.
I'm seriously considering sitting out the election. In fours years all the speeches will be in Spanish anyway.
